Abstract
A method of capturing and disposing of fats, oil and/or grease (“FOG”) is disclosed. The method includes: providing a porous container formed of a porous fabric, wherein the porous container is filled with an absorbent material capable of absorbing a quantity of the fats, oil, and/or grease through the porous fabric of the porous container; placing the porous container and the absorbent material contained therein in a grease trap; allowing the grease trap to fill up with water and a mixture of fats, oil, and/or grease; removing the fats, oil, and/or grease from the grease trap after a pre-determined period of time, while the water remains in the grease trap; and transporting the fats, oil, and/or grease. The fats, oil, and/or grease may be removed from the grease trap and transported with a vacuum truck.
